    When I made a passage/crossing on a 27 foot (8.2m) boat, everyone called me insane. Yet this guy does it with almost half of that, awesome :D

      Hurley 18 might be one of the best choices from mall boats thanks to its good ballast/weight ratio.

      When I was in my 20s I dreamed about big ocean crossing in a 24foot Spaekhugger. Now I am in my 50s and just bought a Spaekhugger. Maybe dreams come true. This video is very inspiring 😁

    Ein echtes kleines Segelboot, sicher und preiswert. Eine Menge Mut und Begeisterung typisch für junge Menschen. Endlich sehen wir nicht mehr die üblichen Bügeleisen, weiß, mit Doppelruder, alle gleich, mindestens 40 Fuß.
    Herzlichen Glückwunsch

      No he couldn't, he has no generator and none of the solar panels needed to power an autopilot and in those conditions it would consume A LOT of power.

    Would you do a video about How you'v got there? How and when did yoi get the idea. How and where you got your boat. What preparation works did you do on it. Aprox costs. These could be a big help for people like me, who are dreaming to do something similar one day.
